The 5-bedroom, 3 ½ bath home at 1524 N Wood St in Wicker Park was nearing completion at the time of my visit and, typical of Noah Properties' homes, was already under contract. The list price was $1,299,000.

The home has all the characteristics of Noah Properties' luxury offerings: high ceilings with glass window walls that flood the home with light, an over-the-top kitchen cabinet and appliance package, a large master suite with a wall-to-wall master bath, and a ton of outdoor space highlighted by a roof deck with a fireplace and an adjacent wet bar. There's an additional deck off the family room and another above the 2-car garage.
